We are doing this work right, but we wont see the benefit, because of how long it takes. This is for further generations right?

That depends on the definition of \'benefit\', and the state of your health.
Within perhaps 3-5 years, we should be a fair way into experiment 3. The results of which is the whole point of the project.

The more work we do, the more data the scientists have to base their research on and the sooner (potentially) they can publish their results, making it more difficult for the public and politicians to ignore climate change that is already happening and is predicted to probably happen in the future.

So our work may help to bring about actions sooner than would otherwise be the case.

Spot on.

Only it is not so much the public that are ignoring climate change, at least in my country, but the politicians and the oil / car / plane lobbies who are pushing them to keep their heads in the sand.

It is a great forum for anyone that needs and wants to know about global warming.

Crunching for CPDN is about helping the scientists convince those who need to know but *don\'t* want to.

Both aspects are important
